Setting the record straight

The door suddenly bursts open, and into the bar come four exuberant blondes. They select a very large table and order five bottles of champagne and ten glasses. The corks are popped, the glasses are filled, and they begin toasting, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Soon three more blondes arrive and join them, and more toasts go around: "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" Two more blondes turn up, and now their combined voices are raising the roof.

Finally the tenth blonde shows up with a picture under her arm. As she sets the picture in the middle of the table, the gathering erupts into high-fives and hugs and a now-deafening chant of "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Curious, the bartender walks over to their table, where he sees a beautifully-framed children's puzzle. After the celebrations die down a little, he asks one of the blondes, "What is all the chanting and celebration about?"

The last of the blondes exclaims, "Everyone thinks blondes are dumb, but now we have proved otherwise. We ten got together to finish that puzzle. The side of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in just 51 days!"
